Restore media, such as a CD, for restoring an information handling system to a manufacture state is automatically created from the manufacture image and descriptive files used to create the manufacture load script. A restore media adapter expands the manufacture image to determine the manufacture state partitions, associates identification information metadata with the image, generates restore media load script to install the image on an information handling system with compatible partitions, and formats the image and load script as virtual restore media, such as a virtual CD. The virtual restore media acts as a master for archiving and communicates through electronic communication, such as a network, to a replicator for mass production of restore media.
